7 TransporT Development in the North East 80 NTDPC | ExEcutivE Summary1 MaIn reporTNatioNal TransporT DevelopmeNt policy committee | 20132 That all modes of the country s TransporT network are under severe pressure is clearly evident. As the country is poised for significant economic growth in the next two decades, it has become urgent to plan effectively the expansion of the existing network capacity, and the addition of new TransporT links and corridors. s approach To TransporT polIcyThe national TransporT development Policy Com-mittee (nTdPC) was constituted by the Government of IndIa in 2010 to formulate a long-term TransporT policy. The present reporT is devoted to setting the conditions for a coherent TransporT strategy for IndIa in the long term: the horizon is 2032, two dec-ades from the beginning of the country s 12th Five Year Plan to the end of its 15th.

8 Our vision is that a well-developed and competent institutional system for Planning , management and execution of trans-port should be in place by the end of this period, if not earlier, as it blends investment in and delivery of TransporT services by the public, private and joint sectors alike. The reporT abstracts from current methodologies to solve today s problems, while forg-ing a coherent strategy for the TransporT sector as a whole and for each of the modes of travel. The challenge confronting IndIa now is to take the necessary steps to achieving a sustainable middle income status and beyond over the next 20 years. To achieve this, economic growth over the next 20 years has to be at rates that are at least as high as those achieved in the last 20.

9 But our aspirations are and must be even higher. And TransporT growth and development must be commensurate with this aspi-ration. we must aim for per capita income to at least double every 10 years so that real per capita income by 2032 is around four times what it is today. For this to happen, adequate TransporT provision in terms of quality, quantity and resource-efficiency is essential. if the required TransporT investment is not made, and in time, to satisfy both the burgeoning pas-senger and freight demands, the aspirational growth envisaged will simply not be achieved. TransporT investment is a response to emerging demand, but it is also an economic growth driver in itself. TransporT Planning and provision therefore must be seen as cen-tral to the growth Planning achieve a significant improvement in overall pro-ductivity and efficiency, it is imperative that future development of the network should be aimed at a bet-ter integration of the various modes, so as to facili-tate the development of multi-modal TransporT , both within the country and for our export-import trade.

10 The objective must be to create a system at minimum cost that is safe and reliable and which minimises its adverse impact on the environment. This will call for heavy investments in TransporT infrastructure; a massive effort at building capacity in the human resources area to raise the level of skills and pro-fessional knowledge in the sector; and accelerating reform measures to ease and simplify the regime of taxes, levies and procedures that currently impede the smooth and rapid flow of TransporT across the is DiffereNt iN this reporT ?Much of the thinking on TransporT in IndIa has been project-centric, done within single-mode silos. But by its very nature, TransporT as a system connects cities, towns and villages within and across coun-tries; and people as consumers and producers to manufacturers, wholesalers and retailers, and vice versa, within and across countries.
